Hurry. 'Cuz it sounds like a storm is coming.

Yup. A giant shitstorm.

I am not applying for jobs (well, not exactly--I just exchanged emails with a couple contacts) from work, but I'm sore tempted to do my taxes from here. Mostly because I don't have a Windows machine at home right now, which is silly. I'm sure I could do TurboTax.com in a non-IE non-Windows platform.

But I won't do taxes from here. Work ethic (where'd that come from?) aside, I was out sick yesterday, and my inbox is making tsk-tsk noises at me.

But we are talking about 2 inches or so trimmed off, so I'm still voting on lucky.

Impressive!

Like what? All I've seen this morning were about a million rickrolls.

I haven't been rickrolled at all!

I am probably just being massively oversensitive, so I'm not going to point fingers.

Completely randomly, just a note for future F2F events: I'm fairly certain that some year we will need a meara vs. Hil cupcake bake-off.

Vibing job-vibes at Kat and Vortex and Aimée. My own situation is starting to look mildly less grim: Having heard nothing back from Job A in over a week, I went ahead and interviewed for less-desirable but more-available Job B yesterday (insert here long-winded Brian Krakow metaphor about wallpaper here); came home to an email from Job A Woman asking me to call her at my earliest convenience.

Called her; she said that for reasons having nothing to do with me they're hiring someone else for Job A, but that I'm a great candidate and they don't want to lose me, so she wants to bring me in later this week to interview for Jobs C and D, which haven't even been officially posted on the HR website yet. So now I have one interview scheduled for early Thursday evening and I'm waiting to hear about the other. If my unemployment check would just finally come through, I might even start to breathe again.

I promised the kids I'd help them make cookies today. THey want sugar cookies, so I better go make the dough now so it has time to chill.

good luck with the interview, JZ. I"m glad they like you so much they want to find a position for you.

My boss just emailed me asking if I could make a budget meeting scheduled at 4pm on 3/28.

I replied, "Yes, if you have invented the time machine that will let us travel back to last Thursday."

It's a good thing she likes me. (She was away for a week and just got back.)

job~ma to you JZ! Also to those others of you looking!

DH just gave me the final say in whether we buy that Tivo deal. I'm eager to dump the new cable company's DVR but am worried about getting it all hooked up with our current system. I suppose those technical issues are probably pretty small.
